The proper NOS fuses arrived in the mail today from England and were installed into the fuse box.

The originality of this vehicle continues to impress me. I found some more inked stamped part numbers on the panels. Also included is some detail pictures of the wheat lamp charging box

The Wheat Lamp Charging box got the zinc plating treatment today. Buffed up to like new condition.

Hi Jordan.

All cleaned up, that looks a lot like an off the shelf, prewar, electrical Junction Box found in many homes from the 1950’s and earlier.

I suspect that that is exactly what it is. I’ve got some older boxes and they match the same gauge of metal used unlike the modern ones which are noticeably thinner.

Yes. Very likely thinner gauge and fewer cable feed options to keep production costs down today.

Boy...I hope this hobby never reaches the point where we are tearing down old houses to salvage vehicle parts.
